In iha'Roiua' net revenue ot from three to tweney one und one-half per cent on a valu-! atlofl of $100,000. There are 100 acres of fruit trees In the Hollywood orchard, 52 acres' of mature Cornice pears, 8 acres of mature Bosc pears, 20 acres of 'young pears, I nf y Bosc and Cornice, and ellnw apples. In 1917 the net revenue AFTER DEDUCTING ALL OPERATING AND MARKETING EXPENSED, was $3,., 000. In 1318, $7,000. In 1919, $21,500. and in 1920, $13,600. . As the Bosc and Coin Ice pears bring the highest prices in the east ern market it is safe to assume the net the land. "Some of these dif ferences are strikingly illustrated to the eye and mind by chart A. made part of this stndy. Some of the orchardists here do not get $J5 per acre frorc pears, or $300 treat apples, while a few here realize- more. The wehnt crop In Kansas and other eastern states h also up and down In yield, by both bushels and dollars. The people here have now had , enough experience with fruit grow- ng M theylnow better how to plant than when many of the present or chards were set out. They understand fnr better the need of adaptations toj soil and other conditions, and results t can be more safely plannfea in ad-' vnnce than in former years. j Modern men, who will build on the experience of growers here, and will manage orchards, especially Bnrtlett liears, carefully and -elen.) ; tiflcally. can find few Investments ianywnOTe more safe, profitable nnd satisfying than a good pear orchard in Jackson county. And other varie ties of pears, and the standard kinds of apples und peaches may do nearly as well. Loganberries and straw-: berries might make still better re turns from smaller areas of ground And such investments are sure to be yond ny questlo. llOC'AI' WOMAN ATTEND COl'XTY RED CROSS MKF.T Several members of the local chap- J. .
